I am sorry if I have caused you any inconvenience. However, I am adding all Templates on the wiki to a Category:Template. Because of this, I have to add [[Category:Template]] to each Template -- hence the spamming of the log. Is it okay with you if I finish up (I will then be done spamming, I promise.)?

The following displays the note icon and the word 'Note:'. You can follow this with whatever text/images/markup you like, and it works in-line, within a paragraph.

Monsters are green. <nowiki>{{note}}</nowiki> this is an in-line note, to remind you that some monsters are orangey-purple.

Duncan, it is not really that helpful to add Templates to a Template category. They are all in their own namespace and it is easy to find them using this link: http://www.funtoo.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=&to=&namespace=10

I did not know about this namespaces tool. Should I remove all of the templates from that category that I created?

The following includes the text passed to the template, and uses a table to stop the text flowing round the icon. These always force a newline before and after the note.

<nowiki>{{note|Here is a long note, which is sufficiently wordy to run onto a second line,

Yeah, probably. In MediaWiki, generally any "Foo:" (with colon) prefix means it's in a separate namespace. This means it's easy to find all pages in a namespace using the All Pages link. Also note that you did this wrong. If you look at all the pages in [[:Category:Templates]], you'll notice that all the packages are in there. If you want to add a template to a category, but not the page that it's used on, then you need to put the category tag inside a <noinclude> </noinclude> section. That section will only apply to the template itself.

which would normally cause it to wrap round the icon, but because we passed it as a parameter

{{note|Here is a long note, which is sufficiently wordy to run onto a second line, which would normally cause it to wrap round the icon, but because we passed it as a parameter it keeps its left alignment straight.}}

Moreover, this causes any page using a template to be in the template category as <code><nowiki>[[Category:Template]]</nowiki></code> is included in the source code of the page. <del>By the way, I wonder if this is a good behavior.

I will go ahead and delete the Category:Template and remove all missing links to it when I get the chance. School has been busy lately. -- Duncan

I have deleted the [[Category:Templates]] line from all of the templates that I screwed up. While I was looking around, I found some old templates that seemed to be unused and tagged them for deletion.

Status of Category:Templates

I have deleted the line from all of the templates that I screwed up. While I was looking around, I found some old templates that seemed to be unused and tagged them for deletion.
